Takeki Itoh is currently a Systems Engineer at Applied Materials. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Materials Department at University of California, Santa Barbara under the supervision of Prof. James S. Speck. He received his bachelor's degree, master's degree in Applied Chemistry from the University of Tokyo. Prior to joining his Ph.D. in the US, he worked as a display research engineer in the Semiconductor Development Division at Sony Corporation for three years. He also worked as a member of the corporate strategy team led by a Senior Vice President of Sony. His research focuses on the crystal growth and device fabrication of wide-bandgap semiconductors and high-mobility semiconductors, particularly β-Ga2O3 and III-Nitrides. He was the first to achieve the successful operation of thin-film transistors based on indium gallium nitride. His research goal is to realize the high-quality growth of β-Ga2O3 to accelerate its application to high-efficiency power electronics.
